Building on the poignant narrative of his debut memoir, “Wet My Hands,” this sequel offers an even more intimate exploration of the threads that have woven together his extraordinary life.

“This to Me” unfolds against the backdrop of Dr. Yurvati’s storied career and his life-altering transitions. Known for his exceptional work as an academic cardiothoracic surgeon with national and international acclaim, Dr. Yurvati’s life took an unexpected turn when he became a caregiver for his beloved wife, Sharon, after she suffered a debilitating thrombotic stroke. This role shift marked the beginning of a series of life-altering changes, culminating in his own diagnosis with multiple myeloma, a challenging and incurable cancer of the bone marrow.

Dr. Yurvati’s memoir, “This to Me,” is more than just a continuation of his previous work; it is a vivid portrayal of resilience, humor, and the relentless pursuit of hope. Through his candid reflections and captivating storytelling, Dr. Yurvati invites readers into his world—a rare glimpse into the trials and tribulations of a life marked by medical excellence and personal strife. His narrative not only captures the essence of his medical career but also sheds light on his personal battles and the strength he finds within himself to face each new challenge.

In “This to Me,” Dr. Yurvati artfully intertwines his professional insights with his personal experiences, delivering a message that resonates deeply with those in the oncology community and beyond. The book’s engaging prose and heartfelt anecdotes are a testament to his enduring spirit and his ability to find meaning and purpose amid adversity. His journey from a celebrated surgeon to a patient grappling with a life-threatening illness serves as an inspiring reminder of the human capacity for courage and perseverance.

Dr. Yurvati’s compelling narrative is complemented by his trademark blend of humor and historical perspective, enriching the reader’s understanding of both the medical and personal dimensions of his life. The memoir not only highlights the impact of his medical career but also underscores the universal struggle against life’s unforeseen challenges.

Now residing in Texas with Sharon and their Scottish Fold kittens, Dr. Yurvati continues to inspire those around him with his optimism. “This to Me” not only continues the story begun in “Wet My Hands” but also offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing journey of a man who has lived at the intersection of medical excellence and personal adversity.

For readers, healthcare professionals, and anyone facing their own battles, “This to Me” is a must-read as Dr. Yurvati’s story illuminates the path from struggle to triumph. Available now on major online platforms, “This to Me” promises to touch hearts and inspire minds with every page turned.
